The next decade....what's in store?

Music's association

I'm listening to Donnie McClurkin's CD entitled Live in London. As I started to play it, I was transported back to 292 Queens Road, Beeston, Nottingham, NG2 9JA, where I spent from September 2002 to May 2003. I used to play this CD many nights before I went to bed.

Ok....so you've never heard of Donnie McClurkin? He's a gospel artiste. The album was recommended to me by a friend, who listened to it when because it soothes (it does). She goes to church every Sunday; I do not, but we still appreciate the album equally I believe.

Cheryl Richardson, who wrote the book "Take time to enjoy your life" (saw her on Oprah), says that when you're feeling down, you should play music that you associate with the happy times in your life.

I wasn't sad during those times (except for winter), but I'm actually copying some CD's unto my library on the computer, that's why I'm playing this one.

If you can listen to Track 4 on the CD, "Who would've thought I'd know you this way"....just lovely. I'm singing out loud and the kids are telling me to shush.

So, I guess my question to you is what songs do you associate with what happy time? Or equally what sad time?

"this is it, this time I know it's the real thing, I can't explain what I'm feeling, I want you all, all in a daze, stunned and amazed, by your ____ ways"...that song just came into my head. I associate that with Brenda Brown, an ace netball player. We used to hang out on the netball courts as kids, because my mother played for Jamaica for many many years. Brenda was athleticism personified. Used to fly through the air to intercept balls.

Ok, enough rambling from me. Lemme go replay Track 4 while you think of something.
